Hi Frank
I went from a Delta 66 to the Layla 3G and it was a *very noticeable* and *surprisingly large jump* in audio quality, fidelity and dynamic range - and Im pretty sure the AP2496 wasnt as good as the Delta range.
Im
not sayaing there is anything wrong with the FTU, but the guys at EchoAudio *dont* " fluff their specs up " - like RME and Lynx, if anything, they underplay their figures.
Specifically, for these 2 units:-
If your main goal is maximizing audio quality combined with lowest possible latency, get the Layla.
If your main goal is easy portability / external-non-PCI-connectivity, get the FTU.
Whislt I am clearly biased, truthfully,
you will be very happy with either unit. Tom
